The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 is furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 5, 2018, Northrop Grumman Corporation (the “Company’) announced that it had received notification from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) that the FTC had completed its review of the Company’s proposed acquisition of Orbital ATK, Inc., and that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, has been terminated, allowing the Company to complete the acquisition. As part of that clearance, the FTC issued a decision and order providing for solid rocket motors to be available on a non-discriminatory basis under specified circumstances and under processes defined in the order. A copy of the decision and order may be found on the FTC's website, currently at https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/181-0005-c-4652/northrup-grumman-orbital-atk.
The Company expects to close the acquisition, which remains subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, after the close of the market on June 6, 2018.
